Austin Food & Wine Festival
Now in its 14th year, this three-day November festival brings hundreds of chefs, winemakers, and artisanal producers together at Auditorium Shores along the Lady Bird Lake waterfront. Signature events include Hands-On Grilling with Chef Tim Love, guided tasting sessions with Texas wines and spirits, and a Friday evening tailgate celebrating Lone Star food traditions — all against Austin's iconic skyline. It consistently ranks among the top destination food-and-wine events in the American South.
